New River Trail 50k 10/08/11: Preliminary results

It was a very life-filled day on the banks of the New River yesterday for the 4th running of New River Trail 50k.

John Batchelor, 36 was the overall male with a time of 3:42:30, followed by David Honea, 42, 3:46:10, and Nick Whithead, 33, 3:46:37. The female champion was Laura McClean, 43, 4:16:49, followed by Lydia O'dell, 42, 4:23:44 and Kara Lemon, 32, 4:25:20.

Preliminary results are posted below. I invite folks to send stories and photos (if you think you have one that might be suitable for publication in UltraRunning, please send a high quality file). I will be working on race report, blog post, and completing results this week.

Thank you to all runners, volunteers, community of Fries, VA State Parks staff, and to The Great Mystery for the awesome weather and beautiful river. Much more to follow.

A great place to play

About Me

My name is Annette Bednosky. I am 45 years old, a high school counselor by current profession and an adventurer at heart. My greatest fear is being bored!
I have been an ultrarunner for 9 years and in 2012 am entering my 8th year on the Montrail/Mountain Hardwear Racing Team (slight name change from previous years!
I live in the mountains of Ashe County, North Carolina in a little town called Jefferson. My husband George and I live with 11+ year old kitty named Mama Grey in a small house in town.
Besides running, I spend time quilting, cycling, and trying to sort out what is next professionally. I work now as a high school counselor, and though I am itching to make a change that involves more teaching, the economic times makes a change now not a good idea...so I shall seek good things where I am!
